    Shouldn't someone be keeping this? It was in a box that was dropped off along with a pocket watch and some dolls. What is it? Why does it say F.A.T.A.L on the bottom of it? I haven't been able to get a hold of the lady that dropped the box off to ask her about it and it is driving me crazy. I just want to know what it is. I don't plan to sell it cause it doesn't look like something that would really sell anyways but surely someone wants this back. I wish the lady would call me back. I really just want to see it get back to who ever it belongs to cause it looks kind of like a fairly personal item. Thanks guys.

    Well here is what they are but I'm not sure if it's something someone would want or not.

    "Have you been deployed to Iraq, Afghanistan or any OIF / OEF base, FOB or camp?
    If you have, you have probably lived or worked behind the T-Walls which surround almost everything in theater...

    If you haven't, T-Walls are very large (12-15 feet high, 4 feet wide and 2 feet thick) concrete barriers which protect personnel from direct or indirect small arms fire, mortars, rockets and shrapnel. T-Walls surround almost every building or tent, line the streets in the IZ (Green Zone) and every check point.

    Our miniature T-Walls are exact replicas of the ones used in OIF / OEF (except ours measure 7 inches tall, 4 inches wide and 1 inch thick). They are made of gypsum and potable water in Afghanistan (KAF). Each has a 2 inch unit coin indentation to display your coin or ours."

    Weird inscription. And why did they misspell Desert?

    For some reason I can't get their website to come up. I had tried to look at it before but kept getting an error. Seems I still am. hmm.

    I was wondering the same thing.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Huh... for some reason the page does open for me. At the top of the page it says, "
    Sorry... we are closed [​IMG]
    We may re-open in the USA. Please check back"

    Probably not related, but;

    FATAL = "Fairest Among Thousands, Altogether Lovely," in the Order of the Eastern Star (Masonic) stuff.

    This is an American thing "Challenge Coins" designed to relieve the gullible of their money.
